Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on request to cater for medical, vegetarian, and other specific dietary needs. These should be pre-ordered before your flight so we can have them ready on board.

Eligible Business Class customers on selected sectors can pre-order from our Book the Cook service, choosing from a wider selection of main courses prepared to your preference.

A range of hot and cold drinks is available throughout the flight, including soft drinks, juices, teas, and coffees. Our signature Singapore Sling is also served on board.

For flights between Darwin and Kathmandu, our weight-concept baggage policy applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class customers enjoy a 40kg checked baggage allowance. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Darwin to Kathmandu once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Business Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On this route, the Boeing 737-8 MAX offers Economy Class seats with a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, giving you comfortable legroom for the regional sectors. Business Class provides a fully flat bed on longer flights in our network, but on the Boeing 737-8 MAX used between Darwin, Singapore, and Kathmandu it features spacious recliner seating designed for regional comfort.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

You can relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on your eligibility.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Darwin but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive amenities, from indoor gardens and art installations to quiet rest areas and transit hotels, making even short layovers comfortable. For longer layovers of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing.

If you prefer to stay airside, you can enjoy walking trails, relaxation zones, family-friendly play areas, and a wide selection of dining options. Shower facilities and airport hotels allow you to freshen up and rest between flights.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Darwin follows Australian Central Standard Time (ACST), which is UTC+9:30 and does not observe daylight saving. Kathmandu uses Nepal Time, which is UTC+5:45. This means Kathmandu is 3 hours 45 minutes behind Darwin throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu when flying from Darwin via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Darwin–Singapore and Singapore–Kathmandu) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Kathmandu is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Darwin–Kathmandu trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
